In the Mutsu region where Mutsunokami Minamoto-no-Yoriyoshi was absence, only Oshu Fujiwara will remain. By having a laws relationship with the
descendants of Abe and Kiyohara, Fujiwara gradually seized the Mutsu district and built his position as the winner of the Oshu. And, draw a line from
Court to establish the Oshu Hiraizumi culture, and the entire Mutsu the independent nation of the original. As a result, war will not occur in the Mutsu
region. This independent nation’s situation of Oshu Fujiwara will continue until the beginning of the Kamakura period, but will end by the Seiitaishogun
Minamoto-no- Yoritomo subdue Oshu Fujiwara and Minamoto-no-Yoshitsune(Yorotomo’s brother). The Kanto Samurai Group, not only the one party of
Genji, also participate party of Heishi, is commonly referred to as Bando (Kanto region) Genji and Bando Heishi, and distinguished from the genealogy of

the descendants of because the number of Samurai was too many the people who were dispatched to rural areas for the management of the manor and the
public territory for restructuring. They were the people of the family lineage leading to the Imperial family originally. There were a lot of Samurai had
become indigenous to the Kanto region, and there was a laws relation, and the Samurai group was formed no bad feeling of Gen-Pei. However like many
others of the time, there was conflict between the neighboring samurai and other province battle and the whole House uproar over the patrimony.
In the so-called Anarchy, Tokimasa Hojo (father of Minamoto-no Yoritomo's wife Masako Hojo) was chaotic until the samurai group was put together as

From 1051 year to 1062 year,"the former 9 years war" issaid to have been a war that tried to pacified Abe's rebellion in the Ohshu(Tohoku area)state.
It was originally, ”the revolt of Ezo(Aterui’s revolt)” was pacified and the Heian Government had entrusted the administration to Abe clan of the
indigenous barons in the Ohshu state.
Abe clan was good government of the ruled. Therefore ,it is said that the prestige to Abe clan who collected popularity was derived.
The scope of its power ranges from Aomori, Iwate and Miyagi prefectures to the present. It issaid that the influence also reached the part of Fukushima
Aizu. However, Dewa(Akitaand, Yamagata Prefecture) area was under the influence of Kiyohara, the same indigenous barons as Abe.
The entire Aizu Bange area was the most important position as a base for the logistics of military and goods and suppressing the southern tip control
of the troops and supplies coming through the sea of Japan from Hokkaido and the Kansai region centering on Aozu district.
The Heian government had a sense of crisis, make plans Abe's misgovernment by crush all the policy projects from Abe clan.
In addition, the reason for the in-laws problem with Oshu Fujiwara was to weave intrigues a conspiracy and quibble, Abe also cut the cord of the
patience, and it has been brought into the war at last.
Abe's ability seems to have been considerable, it is said that the first expedition of the government army was a big victory on Abe’s side.
And the government army says that two-thirds of the officers and soldiers were killed in war, and the remainder said that it’s fallen into the rout and
had become missing. The army of Abe's side, about 250 years ago, the people of connection with "Aterui’s revolt " also participated in the war, there were
seems to had developed the guerrilla warfare which made use of the advantage of the ground. For this reason, it’s said the war was protracted to 9 years.
The next dispatch was Minamoto-no-Yoriyoshi, Yoshiie parent and child, the Heian administration was from the last failure, appointed Minamoto-no
Yoriyoshi to "Mutsu-no-kami Taishogun(Great General). That is to say,「If you win this war, I’ll leave you to management the Mutsu region.」got an
“written appointment to say. "The administrative management of the Mutsu region is Mr. Yoriyoshi, and I entrust it to you. It is to say, More simply.
"Mutsu will give it toyou. If so, is anyone motivated? It is possible to govern the whole Tooku region now. As a result of this, the Samurai's top
the Seiitaishogun is unwritten is ready to say that Genji's bloodline is completed. The first Expedition Army is not official rank" general of Seito of the
conquest... , what Mutsu, and the war in such a distance, I’m lost motivation.” It might have become it. Minamoto-no-Yoriyoshi,Yoshiie parent-child
also seems to have struggled considerably in the beginning, "Battle of the Kinomi (Iwate Prefecture Fujisawa-cho)" defeated by a strategy mistake.
Yoriyoshi himself had eye desease, once he retreated to Aizu. The Aizu area was relatively weak in the influence of Abe clan.
At this time, the headquarters ground was placed near the Sho Hachiman shrine of opening, it is said that the logistics command to around Oshu
places was carried out. And, the place of the victory prayer is the Kokoro Shimizu Hachiman shrine of Todera, and this time was Minamoto-no-
Yoriyoshi, Yoshiie parent-child were coming conquest to Bange.
The war is Dewa(Akita and Yamagata Prefecture) Kiyohara clan sent reinforcements to Minamoto-no-Yoriyoshi, Yoshiie parent-child ,so the situation on
the side of Abe is at a disadvantage and the expedition army wins. However, the reward services to Kiyohara had hoped for some ceded part of Mutsu by
the postwar processing of the Heian administration was done was not. Kiyohara clan were repulsive the Imperial Court from this dissatisfaction and
causes rebellion. Minamoto-no-Yoshiie, had became the rulerof the Oshu,naturally sends the army of the subdue of Kiyohara was sent, and this was
suppressed. This is Later 3 years war (1083 year ~ 1087 year), and the Tohoku district will continue to war for 30 years, no longer exists indigenous clans
and lords in provinces after the war. This is the later basis of the prosperity of Hiraizumi Fujiwara in Oshu. But the Heian administration regarded this
as "private battle" and did not the reward services.　Minamoto-no-Yoriyoshi, Yoshiie parent-child was furious with this, "I got mad !" and run away to the
Bando (Kanto region) of connection with Genji .
In this Minamoto-no-Yoriyoshi,Yoshiie parent-child were East country run away incident, will soon urge th erise of the Samurai, and in East country
(Eastern Japan ), Genji will form the Kanto Samurai Group by solidifying position as the Samurai‘s leader. In Heian-Kyo(Kyoto), the dictatorship was initiated by Heike clan. Power struggle by GenPei’s armed forces, and it leads to the formation of the Kamakura shogunate by Samurai government of the
Kanto Samurai Group.
In addition, the position as a military base to suppress the southward of the northern forces of Aizu, continue for 680 years until the Boshin War of the
last days of Shogunate through the reign of Ashina in the Kamakura period.
